      Wyn Morris is the conductor, whose father was composer Haydn Morris; George Butterworth the short-lived songwriting morris dancer in some old footage; and Stephen Morris is drummer with New Order and Joy Division as well as with The Other Two, a band he formed with his partner.

        Brilliant Tapiola - that sounds a very elegant solution to an interesting AA. Fingers crossed that crb11 confirms...

            Pretty much a perfect answer. Butterworth was in fact an accomplished folk dancer and (as posted in his thread earlier this year) once claimed not to be a composer but a professional Morris dancer.

                I remember another Butterworth who had a problem with orange juice that turned out to be quick setting glue!

                        I always feel so bilious when when I fail to spot a really obvious solution.

                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
